The Javanese is a longhair breed of cat usually associated with the Balinese breed because they both come from the spontaneous mutation of Siamese. Javanese cats have a very similar body configuration and character traits to the Balinese breed, but the Cat Fanciers’ Association distinguished the Javanese as a separate breed because of the much larger color assortment of Javanese cats. The Javanese cats are known to have a particular personality associated to each color variation. Red and cream points are the most carefree and blase of all colors. Javanese cats with these colors love their playtime. Lynx points are the most popular pattern of the Javanese cats. Lynx point personalities appear to vary between the majestic and noble to the more imaginative, always busy with tricks and toys. Tortie points are the giddy fair-haired or nutty redhead Javanese. They will loudly verbalize their minds and amuse you with their frolics. Javanese cats also come in seal, blue, chocolate and lilac po...

 The Cornish Rex is a cat breed originating from Cornwall, England. The first litter of this breed was seen in 1950. This breed, though established, seems odd for some people because of their “extraterrestrial” look. The Cornish Rex are sometimes nicknamed Martian cats or alien cats. A Cornish Rex has a lean body with an egg shaped head, large ears and high cheekbones. Its cheeks are said to be hollow and the nose high-bridged, with a strong chin. The back of a Cornish Rex cat is vault shaped with a tiny waist and long slender legs. It has a very short curly wave coat that is nice and soft to touch. The Cornish Rex’s coat is comparable to the fur of other furry animals like rabbits or mice. The Cornish Rex cat breed is relatively rare, but the usual standard colors and patterns are bicolor, solid white, blue, black, black smoke, and red tabby. The racy look of a Cornish Rex cat coupled with strong legs allows them to jump high and make swift turns. The Cornish Rex is vigorous and l...

What do you do if you love the calm personality of a Persian cat, but can’t bear the idea of going through the effort to groom all that long hair? Get an Exotic Shorthair, of course! The Exotic Shorthair cat originates from the 1960s, when cat breeders crossed Persian cats with American Shorthair cats. The Exotic Shorthair closely resembles the Persian cat in character and also in looks – except for one difference, the short hair. You could say that Exotic Shorthair cats are Persians for lazy people. The main shape for the face of an Exotic Shorthair is round: they have enormous round heads, round cheeks and a flat, short nose. Their eyes are round and wide spaced and the color changes according to the color of the coat. Ears are also wide set, small and round with fur on the inside. The Exotic Shorthair cat has a sturdy, muscular body, with a thick, short neck, broad shoulders and can weigh up to 6kg. It has a short, thick, low hanging tail that is also rounded at the tip. Essentially...

Havana Brown cats’ origins can be traced back to a hundred years ago as a division of the Royal Cats of Siam in South East Asia. They first appeared in Britain in the 1800s along with the arrival of the Siamese cats. But all modern the Havana Brown cats’ ancestry can be traced back to the very first Havana Brown named Quinn’s Brown Satin of Sidlo, a kitten of two brown cats namely Roofspringer Mahogany Quinn and Laurentide Brown Pilgrim of Norwood. Aficionados of the Havana Brown believed that these cats got their name from being as brown as the color of rich Havana Tobacco. This breed is beyond compare to other brown cats because the Havana has a unique gleaming and mahogany brown fur that is rich and smooth to touch. This is the only cat pedigree that requires a specific whisker color – their whiskers must be brown and match the color of the coat. The head of the Havana Brown is a little longer with a blushing red nose and its chin is remarkable. Its eyes are oval and vivid green whi...

The Pixie-Bob is a polydactyl domestic cat with a great resemblance to the wild Bobcat. They have a muscular bone structure, a bobbed tail, and facial appearance and coat markings similar to the bobcat. They are usually 50% larger than most house cats. It is widely believed that the said heritage of Pixie-Bob cats is rooted centuries ago from natural mating between “polydactyl barn cats” and American Bobcats. Unfortunately, DNA analysis cannot confirm the direct relation of the Pixie-Bob to a Bobcat. Nonetheless, through the effort of Carol Ann Brewer who bred a kitten named Pixie directly from two “barn cats” in the 1980s, the breed line of the Pixie-Bob was created and finally recognized in 1997. Since the Pixie-Bob breed is relatively new, the benchmark of its life span is not yet established but it is safe to say that it can live for around 13 years. A Pixie-Bob is a quiet cat breed. They do not make loud noises, but can do some mild chirping or meowing to show their fondness. Thou...

Chartreux cats are said to be the best mouse-catching breed of cats. In the 13th century, crusaders from France in Syria brought back wild mountain cats to France. Many of these crusaders became monks. The Carthusian monks from Grenoble had a big mouse problem and the Cartreux cat breed were bred by them from the wild mountain cats to solve their problem. They became known as their own breed and was already documented in the 17th century as a breed by French natural scientist Buffon, but they were only introduced to America in 1971. These cats are such good mouse hunters, because they have quick reflexes and are muscular. In some characteristics they are similar to the British shorthair, namely they also seem to have a grin on their faces and are of a sturdy built. Their fur is also most commonly thick and blue in color and they usually have copper colored eyes. Chartreux cats are very quiet and it’s not unusual for them to never even meow at all. Their personality can be described as ...
